I'm attempting to add zlib compression to a client/server app, where
the server is written in C and the client is a Java applet. Has anyone
had any experience with this? Specifically, is it easier or better to
use the Inflater class or the InflaterInputStream class in my client?
What about on the server side; should I use deflate() and inflate(), or
compress() and decompress()?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd be looking to use gzwrite() etc at the C end,
gzdopen() can attach a gzfile to a write()able socket etc
